Perhaps in rebuttal to the
opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics,
medici.tv today webcasts
Charles Wourinen's opera version of
Brokeback Mountain from
Teatro Real in Madrid. The stream will be available for 90 days. Annie Proulx wrote the libretto from her own short story. Wourinen, known for his complex & academic music, seems an unusual choice of composer. Bass baritone
Daniel Okulitch & tenor
Tom Randle are the opera versions of Ennis & Jack. The production was originally meant for New York City Opera, & Gerard Mortier took it with him when he left NYCO for Madrid.
